Vancouver-based, international real estate broker Garland Landseer’s life is perfect—a collection of classic European sports cars, grand cru wines, and personal real estate in Palm Springs, Paris, and Hawaii—until his wife discovers his long-term affair and leaves him, taking their three grown daughters, who are equally outraged at their father’s affair, with her. Simultaneously, the pre-sale of a multi-billion-dollar uber-luxury real estate development, The Mercedes-Benz Long Houses at Xwáýxway, along Stanley Park’s seawall, is shut down by a highly organized group of protestors, causing Mercedes-Benz to pull out of the deal. The story is told by Garland—brilliant, charismatic, and cynical in equal measure—who believes he can manage any project he touches including personal relationships. As the losses pile up Garland turns his skills to importing and distributing fentanyl in an effort to keep his brokerage afloat. His wife is demanding a divorce, his mostly AWOL business partner is focused on his “legacy project”, the money laundering criminals he sold real estate to want their money back, his daughters want nothing to do with him, his mistress won’t leave him alone, he’s increasingly dependent on alcohol and various designer drugs, his client has abandoned him to the wolves, and, when it can’t get any worse, it does.
